The Pathan project grew out of DecisionSoft's work on XMLScript, an
|
||
|
|
XML transformation language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XPath was adopted as a node selection language by XMLScript when the
|
||
|
|
XPath specification was ratified by the W3C. DecisionSoft's XMLScript
|
||
|
|
processor is based on Xerces-C, a Document Object Model compliant XML
|
||
|
|
parser. Pathan therefore was designed from the base up to be fully
|
||
|
|
compatible with the Xerces parser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pathan 1 represents the open sourcing of the XPath component of
|
||
|
|
DecisionSoft's XMLScript processor. Pathan 1 features a full
|
||
|
|
implementation of the XPath 1.0 Specification. Pathan 1 implements
|
||
|
|
the W3C DOM Level 3 XPath Specification (Working Draft February 08
|
||
|
|
2002) providing a powerful and coherent interface between XPath and
|
||
|
|
DOM and hence a standardised interface with Xerces.
